@martinfeld I'm risking my passport but this is objectively false :P They shed their bark and the shade they create is pathetic!

@pyrmont Oh OK I can accept that! I grew up in a suburb called Figtree, which was famous for its giant fig tree. That’s not a joke.

@martinfeld This reminds me of a tweet I read - Europeans call it Autumn after the Latin term Autumnus that signifies passing of the year. Americans call it Fall because leaves fall down 🤣

@martinfeld Definitely in the autumn camp here as well. Probably easy with all these eucalyptus trees having their leave all year round.
